Bengaluru

In a swift response to a derogatory social media post targeting Karnataka and its people, Kodigehalli police have arrested a 23-year-old youth identified as Niloy Mandal, hailing from West Bengal and employed in a private company in Kodigehalli. Niloy Mandal's offensive post, which quickly gained traction on social media, contained disparaging remarks about Karnataka and Kannadigas.

The post garnered significant attention as outraged individuals shared it and tagged the police, urging them to take legal action against the perpetrator. In response to the public outcry and to maintain harmony and respect among the diverse communities in Karnataka, the Kodigehalli police station promptly registered a case and initiated an investigation. Their efforts led to the successful identification and arrest of Niloy Mandal. The arrest sends a strong message about the consequences of spreading hate speech and derogatory content on social media platforms. Authorities are committed to upholding the law and ensuring that individuals who engage in such behaviour are held accountable for their actions.
